Thanks for you interest in a puppy from Shady Oak Springers.  We know that from the very start, a puppy learns important lessons through his experience of the world around him. Even in the first few weeks as he snuggles with his mother, wrestles with his littermates, and is handled by the breeder, the personality traits and social skills are beginning to form.

​

As the weeks go by, exposure to a variety of experiences is crucial to his becoming a well-rounded adult. Studies have shown that a puppy's experiences in the first three months of life strongly influence what kind of companion he will grow into.
